Vacation is Half Over

Another bike ride to another tower , shopping at the outlets (got new sunglasses!), a letter from Becca, and dinner at Husk in Charleston.

Ceramics!

Ben, on the other hand, seems to be purposefully avoiding the camera :P I caught one glimpse of him playing flag football today, and that's it. Grrrr ;)

Bike Ride

Joel and I took a two hour bike ride this morning (okay part of it was spent at Starbucks and not on our bikes). After the coffee stop we biked to one of the marsh observation towers and climbed to the top and took a selfie :) I also started (and finished) reading The Fault in our Stars.

More Becca Sightings

Numerous Becca sightings in the camp photos today. Here are just a couple. I haven't seen any photo albums of Pioneer Boys today (Ben's group). Maybe they were off-site and are late uploading the photographs? I'll keep checking back obsessively, of course!

Pictures from Camp

It looks like the kids discovered the nature center, at least, and Ben found his way to the basketball court (surprise, surprise). Looks like they are having a good time so far! I will post more camp pictures as I come across them! Caroline also seems to be doing great (thanks Aunt Abby and Uncle Mike!!!) As for Joel and I, we spent THE ENTIRE DAY reading on the beach and I read all of Eleanor & Park in one sitting. Next up, The Fault in our Stars.

From the Mountains to the Beach...

... In one afternoon! After dropping the kids off Joel and I drove the 4 hours to Kiawah. We checked in, ate dinner, and went grocery shopping and made it out to walk on the beach just in time to catch the sunset! Looking forward to a relaxing week!

Camp Drop-Off

Drop-off at camp Blue Star went more smoothly than expected. Both kids seemed more than ready to say goodbye to us! Becca practically shooed us out the door and Ben barely looked up from talking to Jared to say goodbye. Caroline also apparently took about six hours to notice that we were gone, according to Abby's report, and didn't seem to care much once she did realize it ;)

Here are the kids at drop-off:
